For the study, 7 public transportation vehicles and 6 parks were selected in the city center of Eskişehir. Diagnosis was made using cellophane tape method. A total of 192 samples were collected from children's parks and public parks, and 138 samples from public transportation vehicles. In 4.1% of the samples taken from the parks; E. vermicularis egg was found in 0.8% of the samples taken from public transportation vehicles.

Özet

Bu çalışmada Eskişehir il merkezinde hizmet veren çeşitli toplu taşıma araçları ile parklarda Enterobius vermicularis’in yaygınlığını belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma için Eskişehir il merkezinde bulunan 7 toplu taşıma aracı ile 6 park seçilmiştir. Teşhis selofan bant yöntemi kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Çocuk parkları ve genel parklardan toplam 192 örnek, toplu taşıma araçlarından toplam 138 örnek toplanmıştır. Parklardan alınan örneklerin %4,1’inde; toplu taşıma araçlarından alınan örneklerin %0,8’inde E. vermicularis yumurtasına rastlanmıştır. E. vermicularis enfeksiyonunda park ve toplu taşıma araçlarının etkili olabileceği gözlenmiştir. Halk sağlığı hizmetleri, çevresel ve kişisel hijyen konusundaki eksikliklerin belirlenerek önlemlerin alınmasının gerekliliği belirlenmiştir.
